Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with Preacher Stone

Preacher Stone was born from guitarist Marty Hill’s vision of creating a world-class Southern rock band—one that carried the torch lit by legends like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, and The Allman Brothers, but with its own modern grit and swagger. Hill’s idea came to life when he teamed up with powerhouse vocalist Ronnie Riddle, whose raw, soulful delivery gave the songs their authentic Southern edge.

Their very first collaboration, “Not Today,” turned out to be lightning in a bottle. The song landed on the Fox Network’s hit series Sons of Anarchy, instantly introducing Preacher Stone to millions of viewers and putting them on the map of the modern Southern rock movement. That exposure led to invitations to perform on the Lynyrd Skynyrd Simple Man Cruise and the Rock Legends Cruise alongside icons like ZZ Top, giving the band a global audience and solidifying their reputation as torchbearers of the Southern rock tradition.

Preacher Stone’s sound is a guitar-fueled, groove-driven celebration of real life—gritty stories told through big hooks, twin guitars, and a rhythm section that hits like a freight train. Their music blends hard rock muscle with country soul and a touch of blues, creating songs that feel as familiar as an old friend yet fresh enough to stand tall in today’s rock scene.

But it’s on stage where Preacher Stone truly shines. Their live shows are part rock & roll revival, part tent meeting, and part family reunion—a high-octane, communal experience that leaves audiences shouting for more. With every riff, every shout, and every shared beer with fans after the show, the band proves that Southern rock isn’t just alive—it’s thriving.

Preacher Stone has earned a reputation as one of the most dynamic and authentic live acts on the circuit. For anyone who loves real, unfiltered, soul-stirring rock and roll, Preacher Stone is a must-see experience.
